Anyone know if you can cut into the side of the gunnel on the bow to install the retractable belts for holding rods down on the bow deck?
I've had excellent results calling Ranger parts with similar questions, most those guys been around a while and know the older models, and may even have a recommendation for which unit works best, I'd start there. Also, join the FaceBook Ranger Bass Boat Owners group and post your question there, you're likely gonna find someone that owns the same model answer.
